NOTES

Abbott, the leading authority of his generation on Roman political and historical literature, is known for widely popular books that treat those institutions from Rome that have most influenced our own. Despite a frail constitution, he was an inspiring teacher, especially to older students, and he worked tirelessly as a scholar and an officer of classical organizations both in America and Italy. The first faculty appointment to the University of Chicago, he was largely responsible for drawing up the curriculum for the new university and had great influence on the policies and direction of the institution.
